Mochela, who drove the media celebrity to the hospital, admitted that she was finding it difficult to accept her friend’s passing. Before she passed away, she recalled giving the star food and a wash.

“I never anticipated this so quickly. She said to TshisaLIVE, “I never imagined things would work out this way.
